Chapter 11 Star's in her eyes!
As soon as Lisanna opened that door, Natsu's breath was taken away when the angel appeared before him. Her hair was in a gorgeous ponytail and she had very pretty dark blue eye shadow. Natsu couldn't help himself even to this present day, Natsu felt that he was so blessed to be able to meet Lisanna that he felt that he was in a over extended dream. Or even that Lisanna was sent to him from the heavens above by god himself. Natsu's was still extremely nervous whilst they walked arm in arm to the high school dance but he pulled himself together wanting this day to be perfect for Lisanna.
Lisanna was experiencing a similar emotion. The white haired princess kept looking over at Natsu she always believed that her spiky haired was handsome, but seeing him in a suit for the very first time, really did the impossible for Lisanna and made Natsu look even more handsome and fashionable. This was all new for the poor girl as this was the first time she had seen Natsu in anything other than his uniform let alone a smart suit. Lisanna was just so relieved that Natsu's leg healed so fast so he could hold her in his arms whilst they danced the night away.
On the other hand, Lisanna was fighting a way an emotion that was conflicting with her current mood. She still couldn't help but feel somebody was staring at her and following them making her feel very scared. Sure she was afraid for her own sake, but more than anything she was frightened that somebody would try do something terrible to Natsu. Lisanna pulled herself together remembering something she had her prime focus on. This night not only did she want to have the best time with Natsu, she wanted to finally hear the answer to the long pending question to the pink haired boy in her mind. "Can I be your girl?"
Lisanna looked over at Natsu again feeling his presence was a great way to calm her nerves.
"So you excited for your first fairy tail high ball?" Natsu asked Lisanna breaking the silence.
"Yeah I really am. I can't wait to start dancing tonight" Lisanna replied with a smile.
"Well I'll tell you now, I can't wait to dance my shoes off with you tonight." Natsu said making her blush.
"So who's arranging music at this prom?" Lisanna asked unaware of the crew.
"Oh Gray a good friend of mine is the DJ tonight. He was DJ last time also and the prom was a great success."
"Well I hope I don't ruin your expectations Natsu"
"Not possible Lis the fact that I'm going with you makes it already 10 times better!" Natsu said now holding her hand as they approached the gymnasium's double doors.
"Are you ready?" Natsu said to the shy beauty next to him.
"Are you sure you want to be seen with me?" Lisanna said still not entirely confident in herself.
"I only want to be seen with you Lisanna." Natsu said bringing Lisanna's self esteem up.
Natsu opened the double doors revealing a packed room with dancing high school students.
The room was already sounded with music as they entered the area. Currently, the song playing in the gymnasium was a song called Fiesta. Natsu and Lisanna rushed to the dance floor moving their bodies to the rhythm of the music.
"Hey look there's Natsu and Lisanna come on Lucy." Sting said escorting along the blonde haired girl in an emerald green dress.
"Hey sting you're just in time I needed to speak to you quickly." Natsu said leaving Lisanna and Lucy to dance and talk.
"So you're clear on the plan yeah?" Natsu said to the blonde haired schemer.
"Yeah no problem leave it to me pal." Sting said as they both returned to their dates.
The next song to play was a song called RPG a fast paced rock song a great icebreaker to prom's as its pace didn't involve slow dancing encouraging more to dance along.
Shortly after, Levy and her delinquent date showed up and greeted her friends.
"Hey Levy great to see you!" Lisanna said hugging her friend then afterwards admiring her beautiful dress. Levy wore a lemon like yellow shade dress which went very well with her sapphire hair.
"Yo Gajeel looks like you showed up to this lame dance after all." Natsu said to the hard as steel delinquent.
"Oh shut up, I just decided to come that's all." Gajeel replied coldly.
"Yeah we can see that and you came with Levy as well." Sting interjected making Gajeel trip a bit.
"I just came with her because she's so short she would get lost on her own!" Gajeel said back.
"Yeah yeah we understand." Natsu and sting both said going back to dancing with their dates.
After the song ended, there was a huge disappointment at the DJ station.
"Hey everyone sorry but the other records are in my locker. But don't worry, because while we wait we have a full set of instruments up here if anybody wants to get their rock on!" Gray said causing a huge round of applause.
"Hey you want to know something else about me Lisanna?" Natsu said catching Lisanna's attention.
"Sure what is it?!" Lisanna responded in an excited manner.
"Then just stay here and watch the stage. Sting, Gajeel. Let's do it." Natsu said making the two other guys follow behind him.
No one made a sound as the three students climbed onto the stage. Sting positioned himself in front of the mike whilst Gajeel sat behind the drum set. Lisanna looked on with sheer delight as she saw Natsu open a case which contained a fire red dragon shaped electric guitar which read on the back the dragon slayer.
All was quiet in the gymnasium until Natsu starting performing the opening riff for the song Breakthrough by GOING UNDER GROUND. The crowd began to cheer when Natsu opened up followed by Gajeel bringing in the rhythm on the drums and finally followed by stings unexpected powerful singing voice. All the students began to dance listening to the rocking sound coming from three of fairy tail highs most well known students.
"Wow I didn't know Natsu could play guitar!" Lisanna said making Lucy and Levy giggle.
"I didn't think Sting could sing like that!" Lucy said with admiration in her eyes just like Lisanna's as they listened to the beautiful harmony all three musicians played together.
All three girls danced away happily to their dates fantastic improve made band.
After the band stopped playing, a massive applause sounded throughout the hall.
"Okay I think we've got time for one more song before our very own DJ returns so here is Mysterious magic!" Sting said causing the crowd to cheer in response to Natsu's opening riff again. The music was so powerful that the pure harmony of the band brought in outsiders who decided to sit down instead of joining in the exercise and danced away. Lisanna's heart couldn't stop racing as she saw Natsu's focused face whilst he played that guitar solo on the dragon slayer. Lisanna couldn't help herself a massive wave of determination enveloped inside her as she now became even more certain she needed to have this man. And she couldn't handle the thought of giving him to anyone else.
On cue, Gray returned back to the DJ's turntable and played the next track Break out.
"Oh my god Natsu you were so amazing! I never knew you could play guitar." Lisanna said fully captured by his performance.
"I guess it's no surprise after all you haven't been in my room yet so its no wonder you wouldn't be aware of that." Natsu said
"Sting you were so cool I can't believe how well you can sing!" Lucy said joining in on praising her date.
"Thanks Lucy I gave it my all to make you proud and look at me like that" Sting replied making Lucy blush.
"Yeah you guys were great you should make a band or something" Levy said making Sting and Natsu grin.
"Who would want to be praised about this anyway?" Gajeel said still trying to be the cold man he made himself out to be.
"What are you talking about Gajeel!? You were so cool playing those drums that I can't wait to hear more." Levy replied making Gajeel blush.
The atmosphere changed in the hall as soon as the song ended.
"Okay we're going to slow things down a bit with our next track on the list. Egao no mahou began to play and all three girls felt a warm sensation as their date held them close to them and held them gently motioning with them at a slow pace in time with the music.
"Jellal would you like to dance with me?" Miss Scarlett said offering out her hand to him.
"Sure thing Erza." Jellal said taking her hand and escorting her to the dance floor.
Lisanna blushed as she felt Natsu's warmth embrace her as they matched their moves to the music.
The song ended and switched to the next song something with a faster tempo making Natsu grin as he finally brought out his dance moves with her. Natsu began to spin Lisanna as soon as Rock city boy began to play off. Lisanna was stunned as she attempted to keep up with Natsu's moves following his lead as she spun her around and because of his moves; all eyes were on the dynamic couple. Natsu and Lisanna got a massive round of applause when Natsu finished his routine with Lisanna by throwing her into the air and catching her bridal style in time with the song ending.
"Wow that was something else." Lisanna said unable to say anything else.
"You like my moves then?" Natsu said with a huge toothy grin.
"My heart won't stop racing right now." Lisanna said trying to regulate her breathing.
"I'll get you something to drink." Natsu said
With Natsu vacating the seat next to Lisanna, Lucy joined her whilst Sting also got her a drink.
"Hey so how's it going?" Lucy said breathing quick because of her dancing with sting.
"It's going great. I'm going to do it. I'm going to tell him how I feel today. I can't let someone else take him from me." Lisanna replied blushing as she stared at Natsu on the other side of the hall.
"Me too, I'm going to tell Sting how I feel. I never thought I would fall in love with somebody after what Loke did to me. But I realised something, Loke was just using lines to make me feel special. But Sting actually succeeds in doing this. He makes me feel like I'm the only girl he is looking at and he has been there for me since that happened with Loke." Lucy replied as she also stared at her date who was talking to Natsu.
As soon as the guys came back, they greeted Lucy and Lisanna and handed them some beverages.
"Here you go ladies." Natsu and Sting said.
"Thank you boys." Lucy said to them both.
All of a sudden, all the girls began to scream as Gray began to do his thing.
Gray had stripped off his torso attire.
"Okay let's get this party going!" Gray said playing the next track whilst the girls had hearts in their eyes staring at Gray's muscular figure.
"Hey Lisanna, can I talk to you about something in private." Natsu whispered into her ear and then held his hand out.
"Sure okay." Lisanna said secretly feeling determined this being a perfect opportunity to confess to him.
Lisanna followed Natsu outside holding his hand as they travelled to the side of the building.
"Natsu!"
"Lisanna!"
"I'm sorry you go first Lisanna."
"No please you go first Natsu."
"Okay then well here goes. You seem I have something very important to tell you." Natsu said now placing his hands on her shoulders.
Lisanna didn't get a chance to reply as Natsu took her by complete surprise crashing his lips into hers awarding her his first kiss.
Lisanna closed her eyes a tear escaping her eye as she was absorbed in Natsu's passion.
As soon as the two parted, Natsu had Lisanna's full attention as she stared at him with rosy cheeks.
"These are my feelings for you. I love you Lisanna. I have since the moment you moved to Magnolia. That's why in the beginning I couldn't speak to you properly I was just so nervous speaking to you. You stole my heart since the moment I first saw you. Ever since you moved here I've tried my hardest to get closer to you but it's not just because I want to be friends with everyone. It's because you're special to me I feel like the luckiest guy right now just by being able to talk to you. You're beautiful, funny and a terrific girl who I really would love to keep by my side. I feel you really understand me. What I'm trying to say to you Lisanna is I'm sorry. I can't help myself any longer and I hate to be selfish but I don't want to give you to anybody else.
Lisanna, will you be my girl and allow me to love you and protect you." Natsu said finally silenced by Lisanna not saying a word.
Lisanna tried to form words but the tears just overflowed through her eyes as she crashed into his chest. "Yes! A million times yes Natsu! I love you too! And it's been killing me ever since. I've never felt this way before and I can't stop myself from loving you my dragon prince!" Lisanna screamed as she squeezed him tightly.
Natsu hugged her back shortly after lifting her chin up so he could see her beautiful face.
Seeing her eyes flooding with tears, Natsu wiped away the liquid with his finger and cupped a hand on her cheek.
Lisanna's heart began to race even faster as their faces drew closer and their eyes closed as they joined once again. Lisanna put all of her feelings into that kiss now with more time to prepare her heart. Natsu put his hand behind her head stroking her hair as they passionately shared their first kiss as a couple. Lisanna absorbed herself into the kiss placing her hand on his and the other on the back of his head.
Eventually the pair had to part their lips from each other to breathe again.
"So my name is Lisanna Strauss. Please take care of me from now on Natsu."
"I'm Natsu Dragneel. I swear I will cherish you forever Lis." Natsu said pulling her in for a hug.
Natsu and Lisanna held hands as they walked back into the gym.
Meanwhile, whilst Lisanna and Natsu wondered off outside, Sting noticed Natsu putting his thumb up at him signalling him to be strong. Lucy and Sting were dancing again after having a quick rest.
Sting held Lucy close to him as they began to slow dance. Lucy suddenly blushed when she felt Sting's gentle hands wrap around her waist.
Lucy struggled to hold herself back whilst they waltzed on the dance floor. As soon as the song came to an end, Lucy pounced on sting forcing herself on him steal his lips for her own.
"I can't take this anymore Sting. You're my golden knight in shining armour. I want you to erase that playboy from my head and take me for yourself!" Lucy said staring at Sting with a huge blush.
Sting cupped her cheeks in his hands. "Nothing could make me happier Lu" Sting said initiating his own kiss to her this time.
After they broke off from their kiss, Sting was the first to speak.
"Well I'm glad the feelings are mutual." Sting said as he stroked her cheek.
"You bet they are handsome. So what do you say Sting want to be my man?" Lucy replied feeling cheeky now.
"More than anything Lu." Sting said kissing her again on the dance floor.
"So you ready to have our first dance as a couple my snow princess." Natsu said without hesitating feeling a limiter has now been released making this so much easier for him.
"I wouldn't have it any other way my dragon prince." Lisanna said walking towards the dance floor with him.
Sting and Lucy smiled when they saw Natsu and Lisanna holding hands. Natsu and Lisanna mirrored their expressions as they also saw a couple holding hands.
"You guys too huh?" Natsu said opening up the conversation.
"Yeah looks like we were both successful eh buddy?" Sting said placing his arm around Lucy's waist pulling her closer to him.
"You bet we were!" Natsu said kissing Lisanna's forehead.
"Well let's not just stand here guys, let's dance!" Levy said dragging her own date to the dance floor.
After another hour of dancing and chatting with friends. Natsu walked Lisanna back to her house.
"Thank you for tonight Lisanna I had the greatest time." Natsu said
"I should be the one thanking you Natsu! I had the best time and now I've finally told you how I feel, It really feels like a great weight has been lifting off my chest." Lisanna said blushing whilst she stared at him.
"So I'll see you tomorrow then for our date Lisanna." Natsu said kissing her on the cheek.
"Lisanna grabbed Natsu's face and changed his target location making him kiss her lips instead.
"Good night Lis I will see you tomorrow" Natsu said kissing her hand as he left.
Lisanna opened her front door smiling brightly as she entered her home going straight to her room because Elfman and Mirajane had both gone to bed. Her grin remained on her face as if it was a smiling sticker forever stuck to her face as she changed into her pyjamas closing her eyes remembering Natsu's loving confession to her.
"Things have finally started to go right for me." Lisanna said sleepily as she drifted off to sleep due to her exhaustion.
